LAHORE: Aleem Khan, a dissident Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) member and Punjab Lawmaker on Friday challenged former prime minister Imran Khan to a televised debate.

Former Pakistan Prime Minister and PTI Chairman Imran Khan articulated what made him choose apart from Aleem Khan in a podcast.

He has accused his former aides Aleem Khan and Jahangir Khan Tareen of obtaining unlawful perks from him during his time.

Imran Khan has alleged that Aleem Khan wanted to legalize 300-acre of land near Ravi.

Talking about Jahangir Tareen, the PTI supremo stated his difficulty was the sugar situation on which a commission was also created. “Tareen stood with people who are the largest dacoits in the country. When I ordered a probe into the matter, differences developed with Tareen.”

Aleem Khan termed the allegations levelled against him as false and claimed that facts were distorted.

In his defence, the MPA said that he owns 3,000 acres of land, not just 300 acres adding that he did not acquire the land but purchased it from private landlords.

He also revealed some startling details regarding Farah Khan, a close aide of Imran Khan’s wife and demanded an inquiry into Farah Khan’s relationship with a major developer.

He said that Imran Khan wanted Farah Khan to make money for every transfer and posting and no one spoke about it but we kept bringing out the truth.

He further said that Imran Khan accuses people of treason who have ideological differences with him.

“If you make false accusations about me, I will not remain silent,” Aleem Khan asserted.
